Character Info
Name: "Bar Room Hero" Wulf Erikssen
Height: 6'0
Weight: 224lbs
Hometown: Romford, Essex, England
Alignment: +3. Wulf sees himself as a man of the people, and will frequently stand up "for the
little guy". He also hates those who cheat to win, and so-called "Legend Killers".
* Alignment follows a different idea in EXODUS than simply "face" or "heel." Characters are
placed on a scale ranging from a -5 (Full on heel), through 0 (Complete Tweener with no
allegiances), all the way to +5 (Full on face). We would appreciate if you would also attempt to
explain why you think your character deserves their spot on the scale, though it's not required.
Entrance Music: Barroom Hero by Dropkick Murphys
Entrance Description:
The opening words of "Barroom Hero" by the Dropkick Murphys echo
around the arena as the entranceway becomes illuminated in red and white light. As the music
kicks in, Wulf enters the arena with a bottle of beer in his hand, escorted by Stacey-X. Wulf
walks about the entranceway, drinking from the bottle whilst saluting the crowd, as Stacey eggs
the crowd on, clapping her hands. He then downs the remainder of the bottle, before smashing it
over his head. Following this, he sprints to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope. He
climbs one of the turnbuckles, and raises an arm in salute to the audience, as Stacey walks down
to ringside. Wulf then turns to face his opponent, cracking his knuckles as he waits.
Physical Appearance: Arik Cannon
Ring Attire: Billy Kidman's classic wifebeater and shants look, seen below. NOTE: When wrestling as part of TROUBLE, Wulf replaces the white wifebeater with a black TROUBLE t-shirt, with the sleeves torn off.
Gimmick: Bar Room Brawler
Personality:
List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related,
whatever you think helps define your character:
1. "Samoan Head": Wulf has what can be described as a "Samoan Head". Like classice Samoan
wrestlers, his head is harder than average, and as such he suffers little damage from headbutts
and associated moves, often using the opportunity these situations provide to counter, typically
with headbutts.
2. Fearless brawler: Wulf will fight anyone, regardless of reputation, size or build, without
fear or intimidation.
3. Bar Room Brawler: Wulf's experience fighting in bars and pubs in his youth has given him all
the experience required to be a hardcore wrestler. Although not his preference, his technique is
perfectly geared towards Extreme competition, with his speciality match being the Bar Room
Brawl.
List up to three weaknesses of your character:
1. Honest to a fault: Wulf will NOT cheat. No foreign objects (except in match types that allow
them.) No low blows. No grabbing the tights.
2. Paladin: Wulf sees himself as a righter of wrongs. He'll lead the charge on saves, and
viciously attacks those who either break the rules or unjustly attack others. He does all this
regardless of the odds he may face, or whether his actions will ultimately be to the detriment
of those he's looking to assist.
3. Too stupid to quit: Wulf is stubborn to a fault. He will often refuse to acknowledge when he
is out of his depth, and plow on regardless. He will often refuse to tap, sooner passing out and
risking injury than admitting defeat. (This isn't to say he won't submit in situations, just
that he'll always try not to.)
Biography: Beowulf Knut Erikssen was born to Danish immigrant parents in Romford, Essex, UK. He
lived a relatively normal life until his 18th birthday, frequently getting in bar and street
fights. In one altercation, he made the acquaintance of Bob Vincent, a local wrestling trainer,
and with no other plans for his life decided to engage in training. In early 2002 entered the
touring circuit, wrestling in a mask as "Grendel". He got noticed very quickly, particularly by
another young wrestler named David Vincent, Bob's son, at the time wrestling as "Dangerous" Dave
Vincent. Impressed with each other's style and determination, the two men became fast friends in
their real life, whilst in the ring they had one of the most magnificent rivalries of the era.
Around the country, the local promoters fought over themselves to book "Dangerous" Dave Vincent
vs Grendel shows. Over the course of the next year and a half, their popularity grew, until
finally "it" happened. America had been watching the UK touring scene, and it liked what it was
seeing. In October 2004, Wulf was offered a CWO Hard Knox developmental contract.
In October 2004, mere days after arriving from the UK, Wulf debuted in the CHKWF (CWO Hard Knox
Wrestling Federation, CWO's now defunct developmental federation) as "Bar Room Hero" Wulf
Erikssen, a hard drinking punk from the United Kingdom, a gimmick not too far from the truth. It
was apparent that Wulf's style didn't gel well with the American style, and in December 2004,
when CHKWF folded, he remained at the Hard Knox training centre, under the watchful eye of Gordy
Alles, where he worked to help develop his style into something that would work better with the
American style. In May 2005, Wulf resurfaced at the May-Hem event, fast becoming a fan favourite
due to his feud with the heel Gold Kard. Mere months later, his old friend Dave was also offered
a CWO contract, and the two men became the "South Street Riot". One of their first acts in the
fed was to sabotage Gold Kard's "wedding" to Jennifer Falconi, with both men invading the arena
with a sewage truck, which they proceeded to spray the guests with. This event also triggered a
long term rivalry between the South Street Riot and The Falconis. This new rivalry led to the
boys earning their first CWO gold, the World Tag Team Titles, in the August of the same year,
defeating the Falconis for the belts.
However, soon after this, Wulf's tag team partner Dave recieved terrible news. His grandfather,
Danny, was terminally ill. Torn between his love for his family, and his love for his job, he
requested a leave of absence from the CWO, which was granted. Both he and Wulf left for Britain.
Unfortunately, Danny passed away on Boxing Day, 2005.
February 2006, Wulf and Dave returned in a shocking fashion when they controversially assist one
of their old enemies, Brent Alles, from President Foley's lackeys. Joined later in the month by
Surge, these four men form the "Enemies Of The State", a stable dedicated to disrupting
President Foley's reign as CWO President. During this stint, the South Street Riot won the
International Tag Team Titles.
In July '06, Dave was sensationally revealed as being the traitor with the "Enemies Of The
State", and turned heel, joining President Foley's "The Future" stable as "Corporate Hero" David
Vincent. Wulf remained in the "Enemies Of The State", and began tagging with Surge. However, in
September Wulf requested to be allowed to tour Japan with Dave, citing the reason of "if he
didn't do it now, he probably never would." The company agreed.
May 2007, both men reappeared at the May-Hem PPV, revealing themselves as the true identities of
the masked wrestlers "The Union Jacks". Both men quickly re-entered the Tag Team title race,
strangely allying with their former rivals, and current champions, the Falconis to fight the
more pressing threats from the Hell Risers and the Fighter Jets. At the "Inferno" PPV at the end
of June 2007, South Street Riot beat the Falconi Brothers, the Fighter Jets and the Hell Risers
to regain the World Tag Team Titles.
In the beginning of August 2007, the South Street Riot made a one-off appearance on an NIWF
show. They provided an interesting foil for the warring teams of TVR and Ignition, but
ultimately decided to cancel their probationary contracts after gaining a better insight into
NIWF's operating strategies.
In September 2007, South Street Riot suffered two calamities, as first they lost their Tag
Titles to Bad Weather, but also Dave was dealt a career ending knee injury. Angered by his
partners crippling, Wulf is hitting out at the rest of the CWO, more angry than he's ever been.
Teaming up with CWO Legend, and fellow brit, Nightrain, Wulf Erikssen faced Bad Weather at the
Breakdown PPV, and defeated them, Wulf and Nightrain taking the CWO World Tag Team Title. The
CWO collapsed shortly after this incident, leaving both men unemployed.
In April 2009, Wulf Erikssen debuted in the Canadian-based promotion True Honor Wrestling. After
taking an extended sabbatical for a year and a half, Wulf felt it was time to re-enter the ring.
Unfortunately Dave's injury at the hands of Bad Weather had proven career ending, but determined
to include his long-time friend in his career, Wulf hired him as his manager. Wulf's fortunes in
the company have been quite good to date, and he's certainly making an impact with his
unorthodox style and balanced attitude.
In July 2009, at THW Honor Role, the South Street Riot returned. Dave, still battling with his
career-ending injury, now managed the team, consisting of Wulf and a new partner, newcomer
Maurice Pascal, who Wulf had previously been training at his Toronto based gym. They were
successful in their debut, defeating the team of Jay Combs & Kylie Moore. The following month
the team won their first gold, defeating Jack Napier & Mister Gemini for the THW Tag Team
Championship. Their reign was short lived, losing the belts to the Brother Of The Plague a short
month later. More tragedy followed shortly after, when a devastating shoulder injury ended
Maurice's fledgling ring career, an incident that Wulf has always felt at least partially
responsible for.
In November '09, Wulf entered into a program with debuting THW star David Jones. After a few
encounters, culminating in a Bar Room Brawl match at International Incident, the pair became
firm friends, Wulf encouraging David's gimmick change to Davy Jones. In January, after Wulf
exited the Honor Cup tounament in the semi-final period, Wulf took a short sabbatical from THW.
In March, a new star debuted in THW, the masked and silent Coyote. A semi-successful run saw the
silent warrior pick up the THW No Rules championship, holding the title for a month before
dropping it Sam Hall. At Heartbreak Hell, Coyote teamed up with Mexican Pirate Davi Juanez,
before sensationally revealing to the crowd and the Davis Brothers (their opponents) that it had
been Wulf under the mask the whole time, with Davi similarly unmasking to reveal himself as Davy
Jones. The two friends formed a new team, the Booze Cruise. Davy, however, soon left the company
after management disagreements. After spending a few months floundering without an aim or
target, Wulf took the hard decision to retire from competition, making his life long dream of
retiring to Hawaii a reality.
In July 2012, a matter of week after it was announced they were to be inducted into the THW Hall
Of Fame, the (new) South Street Riot sensationally returned, inserting themselves into the Tag
Team division. Wulf & Maurice, managed by Dave, run riot throughout the division over a two
month period. The team split in the beginning of August, with Dave and Maurice wishing to
conclude their short-term promotional contract, and Wulf not wanting to stop. Signing on long
time friend and comic foil Arron McStyles as his manager, and hunting down old friend Davy, the
middle of August saw the return of the Booze Cruise, the team all living together and travelling
from venue to venue in an old battered RV. The Booze Cruise, in their masked guises of Coyote &
Davi Juanez (El Boozo Cruiso), won the THW Tag Team Titles a mere few weeks later. They held the
titles until late January the following year, making them the longest reigning, and most
defended, THW Tag Team Title holders in the feds history. It was during this time when Wulf got
reacquainted with his old girlfriend Stacey Rahnama , ex-CWO wrestler Stacey-X, and also welcome
fellow THW wrestling star Lexie Bonds into his travelling group, a grouping that remained
consistent until the end of January, when the team of the Booze Cruise embarked on a radical
change of direction. Subsequent to losing the THW Tag Titles at Honorable Mention '13, the team
redebuted that same night, alongside the debuting Thunder, as STORM, a stable devoted to
righting perceived wrongs throughout the company. This redebut saw Wulf reidentify himself as
"Beowulf, the Waking Storm", signalling his change of mindset and direction. This focussed, more
intense Wulf, enjoyed some medium level of success before THW's untimely demise in April 2013.
